    TKR POCTDB recovery thread

    Congratulations @Poctdb. I'm so happy for you and if I'm honest (which I invariably am), quite jealous. At 6 months I'm still all too aware of my TKR. You're my role model for what will be one day.

    @Jockette and @knee#2 - Thanks for your encouragement. I think of all of you everyday and am so grateful for this community. I've spread the word about Bonesmart among my large community of senior citizens who are contemplating replacements. Wishing you all festive celebrations and a happy...

    Hi everyone. I saw my surgeon for my 6-month check-up (and that will be the last one). The good news is that the replacement looks perfect and they're satisfied with the results. The PAs suggested massaging the scar and continuing to stretch. The bad news is the surgeon is still an arrogant...

    Hi everyone - my apologies for not posting much anymore. I'm feeling very negative about the whole experience and don't want to express that negativity here. I think of all of you often and follow many of your stories and progress.

    @marieltha thanks for thinking of me. The pain is at a manageable level but not gone.The swelling is less than it was but not gone either. Some days are worse than others but nowhere near what it was. I'm not back to full mobility and have to be conscious of not overdoing it or I pay for it. In...

    Vent away - I find it does actually help. What also has helped me is the reminder that recovery isn't a straight line. I want it to be, oh do I want it to be, but it isn't. You will recover. It's just going to be in your knee's control, not your brain's.

    It’s almost 5 months since my TKR. For the last couple of weeks I haven’t iced at all and only rarely elevated. I’m not sure it made much difference although my knee is still swollen. Walking down stairs is still painful but manageable. I think I’ve adjusted to living with pain. I’m still an...

    @Benay you and I had our surgeries close together and I'm always so glad you're doing so well. You're my unofficial role model. I live in NJ so we're almost neighbors.

    I'm also a knitter. There's a technique called "lifeline" that has saved many a project for me. You use an embroidery needle to thread a thin piece of yarn or even dental floss through an entire row of knitting. That way if you have to frog, you can take the knitting off the needles and pull it...

    Everyone has been quite eloquent in their responses so I’ll be brief and succinct. It’s been 4+ months for me (May 13) and I’m still not back to my normal energy level but much better than I was last month. It’s not been a straight line but definitely improves.
